East towards Vilnius
When going to Vilnius you take a bus to the highway. There is a bus stop (look below) on the highway where it's possible to get rides, but it might also be a good idea to not deal with the hitchhiking competition and place yourself at the entrance of the highway.
Quite far away from Vilnius there is a huge hypermarket next to the highway with a free bus to the centre.
South towards Poland, North towards Latvia or West towards Klaipeda
- When going to Poland you take a bus to the end of the route. Make sure you make it to the Polish border. From there you will easily find a long ride.
Along the road towards Vilnius
- Alternatively get a bus from the centre to IX Fortas (I think its bus 23 or 35 buses) , this is the main road where the motorway to Vilnius joins up with the E67 (Via Baltica north and south) - with a PL sign you should easily get a lift from a truck to the border. Note that this border is *very* slow for trucks to
cross and theres always about a 2 hour delay, so when the truck stops, get out and walk (or try to hitch a normal car) to the border, just after the polish side theres plenty of room for anyone to stop.
- Heading for Latvia this road also goes to Klaipeda, so if you just hitch signless the road that branches off to Klaipeda is about 20km from here, so you're not sure where you'll end up.
Note, that this spot is usually quite busy for hitching - last time I was here there was 16! people also hitching, so holding a sign to your destination will make things faster.
